The Radical Moderate

@CrankyOiler_fan @TSNDaveNaylor It's been dying for 50 years. If it keeps dying for 50 more it'll live long.

@TSNDaveNaylor Just shoot it. Its already dead

Here’s my take on the new CFL playoff format: Do I think the league is convinced that overall this is an improvement? No I’m not. But I’m not ignorant to the fact that going from 5 to 9 playoff games is a major financial boost at a time the league is negotiating new media deals. Everyone wants a healthy CFL. So if this is what it takes i’ll live it. Even if I don’t love it. #CFL

@RyanisRight @TSNDaveNaylor I think that more late season games will matter more. No more garbage time for the top or bottom teams.

@TSNDaveNaylor You can't cost yourself a competitive regular season for extra revenue, that's so short sighted.

@DarynFunk @TSNDaveNaylor Name 3 U.S. cities who we'd want in the league. Portland, Milwaukee, & Hartford? Thinking of the biggest northern cities without an NFL team.

@TSNDaveNaylor US Expansion to 12 total teams makes this new playoff format make more sense in the future, combined with the new shorter field to work in existing MLS type stadiums. 🤫

@MatthewEvolves @TSNDaveNaylor Disagree. Stakes are higher in more late season games. No more garbage time in rainy stadia in October

@TSNDaveNaylor Even if it leads to lower regular season ratings, which, clearly this will?

@WolfredNelson @TSNDaveNaylor Disagree. It makes way more of the late season games relevant than now.

@TSNDaveNaylor Garbage money grab at the expense of players & fans not giving a shit about regular season games.

@gif2gab99 @TSNDaveNaylor A 4-15 & 5-13 team won't both make the playoffs and if so, they won't meet, as it's 5 v 8 & 6 v 7. I like that a team can suck for 2/3 of the year but win 4 straight to get into the playoffs & make some waves.

@TSNDaveNaylor It doesn't matter what the league, team, or players want. Are the fans going to fill the seats? From what I've read, fans aren't 1 bit excited with the thought of watching a playoff game between a 4-14 vs a 5-13 teams.

@ravira @kingcambie @TSNDaveNaylor OP said "if seeding holds," meaning if the higher ranked team - 2nd place - beats the lower ranked.

@kingcambie @TSNDaveNaylor It's not necessarily the case they would be playing the same team twice. It depends on the seeding.

@StupidJohnston @TSNDaveNaylor It's not devalued for the 1st & 2nd place teams. It increases competition for 5th & 6th to host playoff games.

@TSNDaveNaylor Ata boy Dave! Carry that water. Now explain how it is a major financial boost. Devaluing the entire regular season will surely drive ratings and ticket sales long term. And the media deal that I don't have and exclusively negotiate with my former employer. No conflict there.

@TurtlePower3BT @TSNDaveNaylor On the contrary, the new system rewards finishing 1st or 2nd, whereas before it's one & done for either if they lose, in the case of the first place team, after a bye. I like that the winner of 1-2 gets a bye after a (more intense) playoff game.

@TSNDaveNaylor Is the four extra games worth diminishing the importance of the 81 game regular season. Secondly playoff boosts happen because it's a climax for the season, if the season a glorified pre-season scrimmage you actually ruin the playoff experience

@CFL @TorontoArgos @USPORTSca I guess the Q is Queens? I see this is the only pick not listing the school. Ok, CFL, I give you a pass here. But why does my email give me a link to your website that shows nothing? Lame!

@CFL @TorontoArgos @USPORTSca Every other pick shows the school but not the U Sports pick? Lame!

With the second overall pick, the Argos take Niklas Henning! #CFLDraft

@HSCentralYT @CFL @TSNDaveNaylor Seems a placeholder. Makes no sense to assign it thusly. Maybe it's not a fixed bracket & depends on rankings.

@ecocitizen_MB @CFL @TSNDaveNaylor 5 vs 8 is east 6 vs 7 is west
